This is my second read of this book, though my first was some time ago, so fresher on my mind was the middling film adaptation. The book proves itself superior to the film of course, and holds up well on reread as well, as the motley cast of side characters introduced themselves to me with greater depth this time round. And the solution to the case is, of course, a cracker.
The audiobook is narrated by David Suchet. Though I found the voices he chose for supporting cast rather silly at times, it makes for a fun listen, and his Poirot is wonderful.
Moderate: Murder, Classism, and Gun violence
Minor: Alcohol and Racism

aside from that, this was a less enjoyable Christie because I was able to guess the plot in the first 30ish pages. however, i really enjoyed the last 20 pages where we get the interactions between Poirot and Jacqueline after the murderer is revealed.
